Advertising Your Invention
Advertising is a type of communication that commonly attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase more of a particular brands product or service. Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of those products and services by creating and reinforcing of brand image and brand loyalty. Advertising sometimes has a persuasive message combined with factual information. Major mediums used to deliver these messages include television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards. Invented advertising is often placed by advertising agencies on behalf of a companies or other organizations.
Advertising is seen on the seats of shopping carts, on the walls of an airport walkway, on the sides of buses, in telephone messages and in-store public address systems. Advertising is often placed where audiences can easily and frequently access visual, audio and printed information. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service include political parties, interest groups, religious organizations, and military recruiters.

Assembly Evaluation
Assembly Evaluation takes place by the utilization of Finite Element Analysis. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a computer simulation process used in engineering analysis. Using numerical techniques called the finite element method (FEM), complicated process simulation is achieved allowing designers and engineers to recognize stress and strain during assembly interactions.
Although commonly used in the determination of stresses and displacements in mechanical objects, FEA is also used to analyze other types of problems. Dynamic issues including heat transfer, solid state diffusion and reactions with moving boundaries, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetism are all studied through FEA.
Finite Element Analysis is carried out on complicated 3D CAD software's such as Solid works and Pro Engineer Developer. Patent Lawyer

Consultant Advice for Invention
A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge and thus advice of the subject matter. Thus, clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and to purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired. A consultant usually works for a consultancy firm or is self-employed, and engages with multiple and changing clients. It is generally accepted good corporate governance to hire consulting agents. A consultant is a professional who provides advice in a particular area of expertise such as accountancy, human resources, marketing, medicine, finance, the environment, technology, law, economics, public affairs, communication, engineering, sound system design, graphic design, or waste management.Patent Lawyer

Davison Marketing Scams
(as per Inventnet) You may have a great idea for a new product or service, but a great idea is not enough. You need to know how to develop and market it commercially. You could try to sell your idea or invention to a manufacturer who would market it and pay you royalties. But finding such a company could be an overwhelming task. You also could consider using the services of an invention promotion firm.
Some invention promotion firms may help you get your idea or invention into the marketplace. But be aware, some inventors have paid thousands of dollars to firms that promised to evaluate, develop, patent, and market inventions and got nothing for their money.
So be cautious. Your enthusiasm for your idea may make you vulnerable to promoters who make false or exaggerated claims about the market potential of your invention.
This brochure tells you how to spot some common signs of trouble, how to protect yourself, and what to do if you become a victim. It also lists government agencies and private organizations that offer additional information and assistance.
How to Identify Legitimate Firms
Often, it is difficult to distinguish between a fraudulent invention promotion firm and a legitimate one. This may be because unscrupulous and honest firms often use many similar advertising and sales techniques, market evaluations, and contract strategies. However, there are some comparisons made in the next three sections that may help you identify legitimate companies.
Advertising and Sales Techniques
Some invention promotion firms advertise through television and radio, and classified ads in newspapers and magazines. They target independent inventors, frequently offering free information to help them patent and market inventions. They also may advertise a toll-free "800" telephone number that inventors can call for written information. However, the information may consist only of brochures about the promoter.
If you respond to the ads, you may hear from a salesperson who will ask for information about yourself, your idea, and a sketch of the invention.
As an inducement, the firm may offer to do a free preliminary review of your invention. Also, some invention promotion firms may claim to know or have special access to manufacturers who are likely to be interested in licensing your invention. Further, some promotion firms may claim to have been retained by manufacturers who are looking for new product ideas. These kinds of claims often can be false or exaggerated. Therefore, before signing a contract with an invention promotion firm who claims special relationships with appropriate manufacturers, ask for some proof.
A Market Evaluation
After giving your invention a preliminary review, a firm might tell you it needs to do a market evaluation on your idea, which may cost several hundred dollars. Such reports from questionable firms often make vague and general statements and provide no hard evidence that there is a consumer market for your invention. Reputable company reports, on the other hand, deal with specifics. Before you pay for a report on your idea, ask what specific information you will receive.
A Marketing and Licensing Contract
Some invention promotion firms also may offer you a contract where they agree to act as your exclusive marketing and licensing agent. For this, a questionable firm may require you to pay an upfront fee of as much as $10,000 and to commit a percentage of the royalties the invention may earn. On the other hand, reputable licensing agents typically do not rely principally on large upfront fees. They normally rely on royalties from the successful licensing of client inventions and are very selective about which ideas and inventions they pursue. A request for an upfront fee frequently is another distinguishing characteristic of a questionable invention promotion company.
How to Protect Yourself
If you are interested in working with an invention promotion firm, consider taking the following precautions before you sign a contract and pay significant amounts of money.
Early in your discussions with a promotion firm, ask what the total cost of its services will be. Consider it a warning if the salesperson hesitates to answer.
Be careful of an invention promotion firm that offers to review or evaluate your invention but refuses to disclose details concerning its criteria, system of review, and qualifications of company evaluators. Without this information, you cannot assess the competence of the firm or make meaningful comparisons with other firms. Reputable firms should provide you with an objective evaluation of the merit, technical feasibility, and commercial viability of your invention.
Require the firm to check on existing invention patents. Because unscrupulous firms are willing to promote virtually any idea or invention with no regard to its patentability, they may unwittingly promote an idea for which someone already has a valid, unexpired patent. This could mean that even if the promotional efforts on your invention are successful, you may find yourself the subject of a patent infringement lawsuit.
If no valid, unexpired patent exists for your idea, seek advice from a patent professional before authorizing the public disclosure of your idea.
Be wary of an invention promotion firm that will not disclose its success and rejection rates. Success rates show the number of clients who made more money from their invention than they paid to the firm. Rejection rates reflect the percentage of all ideas or inventions that were found unacceptable by the invention promotion company. Check with your state and local consumer protection officials to learn if invention promotion firms are required to disclose their success and rejection rates in your locality.
In reality, few inventions make it to the marketplace and still fewer become commercial successes. According to experts used in FTC cases, an invention promotion firm that does not reject most of the inventions it reviews may be unduly optimistic, if not dishonest, in its evaluations.
Be wary of a firm that claims to have special access to manufacturers looking for new products, but refuses to document such claims. Legitimate invention promotion firms substantiate their claims, which you can check.
Be skeptical of claims and assurances that your invention will make money. No one can guarantee your invention's success. Avoid being taken in solely on a firm's promotional brochures and affiliations with impressive-sounding organizations.
Beware of high-pressure sales tactics.
Investigate the company before making any commitments. Call your Better Business Bureau, local consumer protection agency, and Attorney General in your state and the state in which the company is located to learn if they know of any unresolved consumer complaints about the firm.
Make sure your contract contains all agreed upon terms, written and verbal, before you sign. If possible, have the agreement reviewed by an attorney.
If you do not get satisfactory answers to all of your questions with an invention promotion firm, consider whether you want to sign a contract. Once a dishonest company has your money, it is unlikely you will ever get it back.

Define patent
Definition of Utility, Design, Plant, or Provisional Patents.
Most patents fall into the utility patent category. Utility patents are subdivided into mechanical, electrical and chemical categories. In general, a utility patent protects the way an invention is used and works. Utility patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new and useful method, process, machine, device invented, manufactured item, or chemical compound - or any new and useful improvement to the same. Utility literally means has purpose or useful function. Patent Application
Design:
According to USPTO patent law, a design patent is granted to any person who has invented any new and non obvious ornamental design for an article of manufacture. The design patent protects only the appearance of an article, but not its structural or functional features. In layman's term a design patent is a type of patent that covers the ornamental aspects of design. The functional aspects of an invention are covered by a utility patent. The Invention both design and utility patents may be obtained on an invention if it is new both in its utility (what makes it useful) and its appearance. The application process for a design patent are the same as those relating to other patents with a few differences. A design patent has a shorter term of 14 years, and no maintenance fees are necessary. If your design patent application passes its examination, a notice of allowance will be sent to you or your attorney or agent asking for you to pay an issue fee. The drawing for a design patent follow the same rules as other drawings, but no reference characters are allowed and the drawing (s) should clearly depict the appearance, since the drawing defines the scope of patent protection. The specification of a design patent application is brief and ordinarily follows a set form. Patent Law Patent Idea
Plant:
A plant patent is a patent issued for newly invented strains of asexually reproducing plants. Tuber propagated plants or wild uncultivated plants may not be patented. Not all countries allow plant patents. The USPTO provides for the granting of a patent to anyone who has invented or discovered and asexually reproduced any distinct and new variety of plant, including cultivated sports, mutants, hybrids, and newly found seedlings, other than a tuber-propagated plant or a plant found in an uncultivated state. Asexually propagated plants are those that are reproduced by invented means other than from seeds, such as by the rooting of cuttings, by layering, budding, grafting, inarching, etc. With reference to tuber-propagated plants, for which a plant patent cannot be obtained, the term "tuber" is used in its narrow horticultural sense as meaning a short, thickened portion of an underground branch. Such plants covered by the term "tuber-propagated" are the Irish potato and the Jerusalem artichoke. Patent Application
Definition:
A provisional patent application is a type of interim utility patent filed with the USPTO. You can file for a provisional patent without including any formal patent claims, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure (prior art) statement. The keyword in provisional patent application is "provisional". A provisional patent application only gives one year of protection. After that you must file for a non-provisional patent or abandon your patent. The USPTO created provisional patent applications as a means to establish an early effective filing date for a non-provisional patent application, which helped balance American patent law with the patent laws of other countries. It also allows the term "Patent Pending" to be used. Patent Trademark
Understanding Trademarks or Copyrights
What Is A Trademark?
Trademarks protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as long as they are being used in business. The roar of the MGM lion, the pink of the insulation made by Owens-Corning (who uses the Pink Panther in advertising by permission from its owner!), and the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle are familiar trademarks. These are brand names and identities and are important in marketing a product or service. Patent Law
Brand Name Vs Generic Name
Naming an invention involves developing at least two names. One name is the generic name. The other name is the brand name or trademark name. For example, Pepsi ® and Coke ® are brand names or trademark names; cola or soda are the generic or product names. Big Mac ® and Whopper ® are brand names or trademark names; hamburger is the generic or product name. Nike ® and Reebok ® are brand names ortrademark names; sneaker or athletic shoe are generic or product names. Patent Agent Invention Help
Primary Trademarks
The term "trademark" is often used to refer to any type of mark that can be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or USPTO. The two primary types of marks that can be registered with the USPTO are:
* Trademarks that are used by their owners to identify goods, that is, physical commodities, which may be natural, manufactured, or produced, and which are sold or otherwise transported or distributed via interstate commerce.
* Service marks that are used by their owners to identify services, that is, intangible activities, which are performed by one person for the benefit of a person or persons other than himself, either for pay or otherwise. Patent Application
Other Types of Marks
There are other types of marks that can be registered, however, they occur infrequently and have some different requirements for registration than the more commonly applied for trademarks and service marks. Since the benefits of registration are essentially the same for all types of marks, the term "trademark" is often used in general information that applies to service marks, certification marks, and collective marks as well as to true trademarks, the marks used on invented goods. Patent Law
Using Trademark Symbols
You can use the symbols TM for trademark or SM for service mark to indicate that you are claims rights to the marks without having federal registration. However, use of the TM and SM symbols may be governed by different local, state, or foreign laws. The federal registration symbol ® can only be used after the mark is actually registered in the USPTO. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol ®may not be used before the mark has actually become registered. Patent Agent
Can I Apply For A Registered Trademark By Myself?
Yes, and you would also be responsible for observing and complying with all the procedural issues and requirements. Trademark registration is not easy, you may need professional help. The names of attorneys who specialize in trademark law may be found in the telephone yellow pages, or by contacting a local bar association. Patent Trademark Patent Idea
Copyright or Patent?
There are three types of protection for intellectual property. Property that a person creates with their mind or intellect.
* patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions
* trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied toproducts you can sell or services that you offer
* copyright protection covers literary, artistic, and musical works.
* Examples of Copyrights
* Gone With The Wind - the book and film
* System of A Down - the band's recordings and artwork
* Video games are all works that are copyrighted. Patent Application
Copyright Protection
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form so that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The moment you write it, paint it, or put it on the internet, your work is copyright protected.
Library of Congress
In the United States, the Library of Congress officially registers copyrights which now last for the life of the author plus 70 years. No one else can profit or copy your ideas without your permission invented during this time period.
Do I Need to Invention Register? Your works of art, music, etc, all have copyright protection with or without formal copyright registration with the Library of Congress or any other copyright office. However, copyright registration adds proof of copyright ownership and aids you in fighting copyright infringement. Copyright literally means the right to copy. Patent Law
Design
No generally-accepted definition of "design" exists[1], and the term has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). Informally, "a design" (noun) refers to a plan for the construction of an object (as in architectural blueprints, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns) and "to design" (verb) refers to making this plan[2]. However, one can also design by directly constructing an object (as in pottery, cowboy coding and graphic design).More formally, design has been defined as follows.(noun) a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints;(verb, transitive) to create a design, in an environment (where the designer operates)[3]Here, a "specification" can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed.With such a broad denotation, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. This allows for many differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject (see Philosophies and studies of design, below).The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). A designer’s sequence of activities is called a design process[4]. The scientific study of design is called design science [5].Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities,

Camp Invention
June 25, 2010
Camp Invention inspires students
MANKATO — Notice to the United States Patent and Trademark Office: Get your pens ready.
After five days of problem-solving, creating, engineering and imagining during Camp Invention held at Mankato East High School, more than 90 elementary-age students are ready to share their creative vision with the world.
Wyatt Block, age 7, used a broken stereo to create a "Brother-inator," which he wants to use to help locate his older brother at all times. Wyant Fowlds used empty pop bottles and an old digital camera to create a machine that self-cleans his bedroom.
Errin Brudwick said she’s going to invent a contraption to get her dog to stop whining while Brianna Hoppe said she’s going to end financial hardship worldwide with a money machine.
Jenni Schwartz, who said she lost her grandfather recently to cancer, said she’s going to create a machine to keep people from getting sick. And Lizzy Reed wants to invent a machine for those, like herself, who live with diabetes.
"I want to help make people’s lives easier," she said.
Camp Invention is coordinated by Mankato Area Community Education and Recreation. The weeklong day camp wrapped up Friday with more than 90 participants in grades 1-6.
Melanie Schmidt, a coordinator of community education activities, said this year’s turnout was the highest since the camp’s inception six years ago. Founded by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, the camp is focused on building interest in science, technology and engineering at elementary ages.
According to recent numbers from the National Center for Education Statistics, the proportion of U.S. students earning medical and engineering-related college degrees is more than five percentage points below the international average. Camp Invention, Schmidt said, is among a number of initiatives undertaken by Community Education and Recreation (also Lego camps and an assortment of science camps) to boost those figures, at least locally.
During the camp, students built motorized, moving pets — using a small battery and Styrofoam — and then constructed playgrounds and houses for them to roam. They built environmentally friendly products for the inhabitants of a mythical planet and used a lemon to turn on a light bulb.
Students even attempted to build the world’s longest straw without using tape. At 44 feet, it obliterated the current record of 33, but the Guinness Book of World Records application fee costs too much to gain formal recognition. Camp counselor Aaron Frederick, who will be in 10th grade this fall, tested the straw successfully with a bottle of water and said he sent Guinness an e-mail anyway.
Joe Peterson, who was completing his third consecutive year of attending the camp, said he’s discovered something new each summer.
"It teaches you to keep your imagination," he said. "If you can’t figure something out, you need to never stop trying."

Make sure your contract contains all agreed upon terms, written and verbal, before you sign. If possible, have the agreement reviewed by an attorney.
If you do not get satisfactory answers to all of your questions with an invention promotion firm, consider whether you want to sign a contract. Once a dishonest company has your money, it is unlikely you will ever get it back.

Define patent
Definition of Utility, Design, Plant, or Provisional Patents.
Most patents fall into the utility patent category. Utility patents are subdivided into mechanical, electrical and chemical categories. In general, a utility patent protects the way an invention is used and works. Utility patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new and useful method, process, machine, device invented, manufactured item, or chemical compound - or any new and useful improvement to the same. Utility literally means has purpose or useful function. Patent Application
Design:
According to USPTO patent law, a design patent is granted to any person who has invented any new and non obvious ornamental design for an article of manufacture. The design patent protects only the appearance of an article, but not its structural or functional features. In layman's term a design patent is a type of patent that covers the ornamental aspects of design. The functional aspects of an invention are covered by a utility patent. The Invention both design and utility patents may be obtained on an invention if it is new both in its utility (what makes it useful) and its appearance. The application process for a design patent are the same as those relating to other patents with a few differences. A design patent has a shorter term of 14 years, and no maintenance fees are necessary. If your design patent application passes its examination, a notice of allowance will be sent to you or your attorney or agent asking for you to pay an issue fee. The drawing for a design patent follow the same rules as other drawings, but no reference characters are allowed and the drawing (s) should clearly depict the appearance, since the drawing defines the scope of patent protection. The specification of a design patent application is brief and ordinarily follows a set form. Patent Law Patent Idea
Plant:
A plant patent is a patent issued for newly invented strains of asexually reproducing plants. Tuber propagated plants or wild uncultivated plants may not be patented. Not all countries allow plant patents. The USPTO provides for the granting of a patent to anyone who has invented or discovered and asexually reproduced any distinct and new variety of plant, including cultivated sports, mutants, hybrids, and newly found seedlings, other than a tuber-propagated plant or a plant found in an uncultivated state. Asexually propagated plants are those that are reproduced by invented means other than from seeds, such as by the rooting of cuttings, by layering, budding, grafting, inarching, etc. With reference to tuber-propagated plants, for which a plant patent cannot be obtained, the term "tuber" is used in its narrow horticultural sense as meaning a short, thickened portion of an underground branch. Such plants covered by the term "tuber-propagated" are the Irish potato and the Jerusalem artichoke. Patent Application
Definition:
A provisional patent application is a type of interim utility patent filed with the USPTO. You can file for a provisional patent without including any formal patent claims, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure (prior art) statement. The keyword in provisional patent application is "provisional". A provisional patent application only gives one year of protection. After that you must file for a non-provisional patent or abandon your patent. The USPTO created provisional patent applications as a means to establish an early effective filing date for a non-provisional patent application, which helped balance American patent law with the patent laws of other countries. It also allows the term "Patent Pending" to be used. Patent Trademark
Understanding Trademarks or Copyrights
What Is A Trademark?
Trademarks protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as long as they are being used in business. The roar of the MGM lion, the pink of the insulation made by Owens-Corning (who uses the Pink Panther in advertising by permission from its owner!), and the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle are familiar trademarks. These are brand names and identities and are important in marketing a product or service. Patent Law
Brand Name Vs Generic Name
Naming an invention involves developing at least two names. One name is the generic name. The other name is the brand name or trademark name. For example, Pepsi ® and Coke ® are brand names or trademark names; cola or soda are the generic or product names. Big Mac ® and Whopper ® are brand names or trademark names; hamburger is the generic or product name. Nike ® and Reebok ® are brand names ortrademark names; sneaker or athletic shoe are generic or product names. Patent Agent Invention Help
Primary Trademarks
The term "trademark" is often used to refer to any type of mark that can be registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or USPTO. The two primary types of marks that can be registered with the USPTO are:
* Trademarks that are used by their owners to identify goods, that is, physical commodities, which may be natural, manufactured, or produced, and which are sold or otherwise transported or distributed via interstate commerce.
* Service marks that are used by their owners to identify services, that is, intangible activities, which are performed by one person for the benefit of a person or persons other than himself, either for pay or otherwise. Patent Application
Other Types of Marks
There are other types of marks that can be registered, however, they occur infrequently and have some different requirements for registration than the more commonly applied for trademarks and service marks. Since the benefits of registration are essentially the same for all types of marks, the term "trademark" is often used in general information that applies to service marks, certification marks, and collective marks as well as to true trademarks, the marks used on invented goods. Patent Law
Using Trademark Symbols
You can use the symbols TM for trademark or SM for service mark to indicate that you are claims rights to the marks without having federal registration. However, use of the TM and SM symbols may be governed by different local, state, or foreign laws. The federal registration symbol ® can only be used after the mark is actually registered in the USPTO. Even though an application is pending, the registration symbol ®may not be used before the mark has actually become registered. Patent Agent
Can I Apply For A Registered Trademark By Myself?
Yes, and you would also be responsible for observing and complying with all the procedural issues and requirements. Trademark registration is not easy, you may need professional help. The names of attorneys who specialize in trademark law may be found in the telephone yellow pages, or by contacting a local bar association. Patent Trademark Patent Idea
Copyright or Patent?
There are three types of protection for intellectual property. Property that a person creates with their mind or intellect.
* patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions
* trademarks are brand names and/or designs which are applied toproducts you can sell or services that you offer
* copyright protection covers literary, artistic, and musical works.
* Examples of Copyrights
* Gone With The Wind - the book and film
* System of A Down - the band's recordings and artwork
* Video games are all works that are copyrighted. Patent Application
Copyright Protection
Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form so that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The moment you write it, paint it, or put it on the internet, your work is copyright protected.
Library of Congress
In the United States, the Library of Congress officially registers copyrights which now last for the life of the author plus 70 years. No one else can profit or copy your ideas without your permission invented during this time period.
Do I Need to Invention Register? Your works of art, music, etc, all have copyright protection with or without formal copyright registration with the Library of Congress or any other copyright office. However, copyright registration adds proof of copyright ownership and aids you in fighting copyright infringement. Copyright literally means the right to copy. Patent Law
Design
No generally-accepted definition of "design" exists[1], and the term has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). Informally, "a design" (noun) refers to a plan for the construction of an object (as in architectural blueprints, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns) and "to design" (verb) refers to making this plan[2]. However, one can also design by directly constructing an object (as in pottery, cowboy coding and graphic design).More formally, design has been defined as follows.(noun) a specification of an object, manifested by an agent, intended to accomplish goals, in a particular environment, using a set of primitive components, satisfying a set of requirements, subject to constraints;(verb, transitive) to create a design, in an environment (where the designer operates)[3]Here, a "specification" can be manifested as either a plan or a finished product and "primitives" are the elements from which the design object is composed.With such a broad denotation, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. This allows for many differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject (see Philosophies and studies of design, below).The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). A designer’s sequence of activities is called a design process[4]. The scientific study of design is called design science [5].Designing often necessitates considering the aesthetic, functional, economic and sociopolitical dimensions of both the design object and design process. It may involve considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. Meanwhile, diverse kinds of objects may be designed, including clothing, graphical user interfaces, skyscrapers, corporate identities,
Designer

Development
Development prototype
Phase 1: Conceive (as per wikipedia)
Imagine, specify, plan, innovate
The first stage in idea is the definition of its requirements based on customer, company, market and regulatory bodies’ viewpoints. From this specification of the products major technical parameters can be defined. Parallel to the requirements specification the initial product together with its main functional aspects. For the Industrial Design, Styling, work many different media are used from pencil and paper, clay models to 3D CAID Computer-aided industrial design software.
Phase 2: Design
Describe, define, develop, test, analyze and validate Design and development of the product’s form starts, progressing to prototype testing, through pilot release to full product launch. It can also involve redesign and ramp for improvement to existing products as well as planned obsolescence. The main tool used for design and development is CAD Computer-aided design. This can be simple 2D Drawing / Drafting or 3D Parametric Feature Based Solid/Surface Modeling. Such software includes technology such as Hybrid Modeling, Reverse Engineering Assembly construction.
This step covers many engineering disciplines including: Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, Software, and domain-specific, such as Architectural, Aerospace, Automotive, Along with the actual creation of geometry there is the analysis of the components and product assemblies. Simulation, validation and optimization tasks are carried out using CAE (Computer-aided engineering) software either integrated in the CAD package or stand-alone. These are used to perform tasks such as:- Stress analysis, FEA (Finite Element Analysis); Kinematics Computational fluid dynamics (CFD); and mechanical event simulation (MES). CAQ (Computer-aided quality) is used for tasks such as Dimensional Tolerance (engineering) Analysis. Another task performed at this stage is the sourcing of bought out components, possibly with the aid of Procurement systems.Phase 3: Realize
Manufacture, make, build, procure, produce, sell and deliver
Once the design of the product’s components is complete the method of manufacturing is defined. This includes CAD tasks such as tool design; creation of CNC Machining instructions for the product’s parts as well as tools to manufacture those parts, using integrated or separate CAM Computer-aided manufacturing software. This will also involve analysis tools for process simulation for operations such as casting, molding, and die press forming. Once the manufacturing method has been identified CPM comes into play. This involves CAPE (Computer-aided Production Engineering) or CAP/CAPP – (Production Planning) tools for carrying out Factory, Plant and Facility Layout and Production Simulation. For example: Press-Line Simulation; and Industrial Ergonomics; as well as tool selection management. Once components are manufactured their geometrical form and size can be checked against the original CAD data with the use of Computer Aided Inspection equipment and software. Parallel to the engineering tasks, sales product configuration and marketing documentation work will be taking place. This could include transferring engineering data (geometry and part list data) to a web based sales configurator and other Desktop Publishing systems.Phase 4: Service
Use, operate, maintain, support, sustain, phase-out, retire, recycle and disposal. The final phase of the lifecycle involves managing of in service information. Providing customers and service engineers with support information for repair and maintenance, as well as waste management recycling information. This involves using such tools as Maintenance, Repair and Operations Management software.
Development Process
Our development process is quite simple. After you have uploaded your design concepts and made your initial payment you will receive your initial composition within 24 hours. Your initial design composition is a 3d model of your personal design and the core of your 3d graphics package. Your 3d model is sent in a fully interactive3d pdf email for you to make revisions and resubmit to continue the development process. Patent Lawyer Invention Help
Product Development
Product Development (Invention Development) is the complete process of bringing a new product or service to market. There are many processes included product development including idea generation, product design, detail engineering, market research and marketing analysis. Companies typically see Product Development (Invention Development) as the first stage in generating and commercializing new products invented within the overall strategic process of Product Lifecycle Management used to maintain or grow their market share.

Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is an engineering category that involves the application of principles of physics for design, analysis, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical processes. It requires an educated understanding of key concepts including kinematics, mechanics, thermodynamics and energy. Mechanical engineers use these quantifiable and qualitative principles in the design and analysis of aircraft, heating & cooling systems, watercraft, motor vehicles, manufacturing plants, industrial equipment and machinery, medical devices invented and more. Patent Trademark Provisional Patent Invention Help
Invention Manufacturing
Manufacturing can be categorized as an industry that makes products from raw materials by the using of manual labor and/or machinery. Manufacturing articulates the fabrication or assembly of parts into finished products on a fairly large scale. The most common manufacturing industries include production of aircraft, automobiles, consumer electronics, chemicals, clothing, computers, heavy machinery, refined petroleum products, ships, electrical equipment, furniture, steel, and tools and dies.
Manufacturing is categorized based on industries and can be described dependent on the production of the specific parts or assemblies relative to each category. Some manufacturing processes include the automotive industry; aerospace industry; ship construction; chemical industry; soap and detergent; industrial polymers, major; mineral deposit; textile; dye; pharmaceutical industry; explosive; plastic; man-made fiber; surface coating; adhesive; papermaking; building construction; clothing and footwear industry; floor coverings; furniture industry; electronics; food preservation; industrial ceramics; industrial glass; printing.

Interest in obtaining licensing for your Invention?
The purpose of licensing is to grant another individual, company or corporation the right to use your intellectual property for a specific amount of time and for a specific purpose. The specifics are outlined in the terms of the agreement. A licensor may grant licensing under "intellectual property" to do something (such as copy software or use a patented invention) without fear of a claim of intellectual property infringement brought by the licensor. A license under intellectual property usually has several parts including a term, territory, renewal, invented as well as other limitations deemed vital to the licensor and licensee. Many licenses are valid for a particular length of time protecting the licensor should the value of a licensing agreement increase, or market conditions change. Patent Agent

Invention advice
As per about.com: Get educated in the whole process of how invention submission works for new inventions. Learn basic lessons on how to potentially turn new ideas into money-making new inventions.
Guides for Beginners on New Inventions Intellectual property can be tough to understand. Understand the basics first - the what does that mean questions - and the rest will follow.
One of the most common questions that a newbie inventor has to ask is,
What do I need? Do I need a patent, trademark, or copyright?
These are the three different types of what is called intellectual property. These are products that come from the creative mind. Intellectual property is imagination made real. Intellectual property is an asset just like your home, your car, or your bank account and there are ways to protect and profit from intellectual property by using a patent, trademark, or copyright. Patent Law
Intellectual Property - Patent
Utility, design, or plant patents protect inventions and improvements to existing inventions. Invention of must be "things that have purpose" and not ideas or names. For example, I would patent my invention of an improved car tire that never goes flat. Patent Attorney Patent Idea
Intellectual Property - Trademark
Trademarks are words, names, symbols, devices and images that represent products, goods, or services. Trademarks identify and promote different brands or services. For example, I would trademark register the service name of my catering business, Quickie Caterers. Also, I would trademark register the brand name of a cookie that I manufacture and sell invented, Fluffy Not Stuffy Cookies. Patent Attorney Invention Help
Intellectual Property - Copyright
Copyrights protect the expression of ideas in literary, artistic and musical works. For example, I would copyright register all the books and articles that I have written. A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor. Also, I would copyright register all the paintings that I have painted. Patent Attorney Provisional Patent
Can I Combine Intellectual Property Types?
You can use all three types of intellectual property protection together if necessary. For example, I would patent my invention of an improved car tire, a car tire that never goes flat. I would also trademark register the brand name of my invention, the Tireless Tire. I would copyright register the instruction manual that I wrote that explains how to take care of a Tireless Tire. Patent Application

Will I Need to Hire an Intellectual Property Lawyer?
Filing a patent application is very hard and complex. Filing a trademark application is not easy. Filing for copyright protection is the easiest. Patent offices will not assist you in the preparation of applications, however, they do provide you with some instruction and guides. If you are ready conduct any intellectual property activity as a beginner you are strongly advised to contact a registered patent attorney or agent. Patent Idea
How do I Finance and/or Market my Ideas?
The Small Business Administration or SBA provides excellent information on starting, planning, marketing, obtaining venture capital and financing a small business. The SBA also provides training and counseling.Patent ApplicationAlso see -Funding - Obtaining government grants, small business loans, invented scholarships and other programs to fund your ideas. Patent Idea The Invention
Be a Smart Consumer
Before doing business with promoters and invention promotion firms, you should check on their reputation before making any commitments. It's best to be wary of any invention promotion firm that promises too much and/or costs too much. Many inventors pay thousands of dollars to firms that promise to evaluate, develop, patent, and market inventions and then do little or nothing for their fees. Patent Application Patent Lawyer
Avoid a Financial Disaster
If all you have is an idea, don't ever take the easy way out and think a company or individual is going to do everything for you. Many of these companies are not the real deal. Avoid getting ripped off. Patent Agent
Invention application
Invention camp
Invention assessment
Purpose of an Invention Assessment
Getting an invention assessment serves two main purposes: one, you find out if it is worthwhile to put more money into a certain idea and two, when you are trying to raise venture capital, sell or license your ideas, you will be ready with the hard facts that can impress a potential investor or buyer. Only a tiny percentage of patents ever make a profit and it is better for the independent inventor to understand that fact and act upon it. You are a very creative person by nature, maybe one idea does will not work out but another one might. In a very competitive market, you need to be able to objectively decide if your new invention will be able to do all of the following: Patent Trademark
* Can fulfill a consumer's needs or desires.
* Can be manufactured and sold at the right price, sold at no more than five times what it costs to make.
* Can be delivered to market, a way to distribute your product is in place and the market opportunity is established.
* Can pass safety, legal, environmental and performance expectations or standards A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor. Patent Lawyer
If your new invention cannot pass all of the above criteria and your intention is to make money, you would be better off moving on to your next idea. It is an excellent idea to evaluate your new invention early in the development stage. You can start with your own opinion and that of close friends, but it is unlikely that you or your friends have an objective opinion or the research ability to understand and determine if your new invention can meet the above criteria. Patent Application
Use Caution Before Hiring the Wrong People for an Invention Assessment
Many invention promotion firms offer invention or market evaluations, but they cannot give you an objective opinion since they have a stake in the fees they are going to charge you for their services. If you have not done so already please read Invention Promotion Firms & Avoiding Scams and How To Avoid An Invention Company Scam. These companies fail to tell you that only a small percentage of new inventions make money. They charge you an arm and a leg to patent and market your invention of and they do not want you to think your invention could possible fail. Patent Law
Use a Confidentiality Agreement
Before hiring anyone to make an invention assessment for you, you must first sign a non-disclosure agreement if you have no patent protection. A non-disclosure agreement (also known as a Confidentiality Agreement) is used when someone with an unpatented idea shows it to another party, and wants that party to maintain as confidential any information invented.

Invention designer
A invention designer is a person who designs something new. If you've created a new invention chances are you are a designer. Regardless of whether you have developed your idea or not, you have the designing mind. As well as amateur designers, there are many professional designers. To be a professional invented designer requires study to degree level, work experience or specialized training. Working as an invention designer usually implies being creative in a particular area of expertise. Designers are usually responsible for developing the concept and making drawings or models for something new that will be made by someone else. Their concepts take into account not only how something will look, but also how it will be used and how it will be manufactured. There can be great differences between the working styles and principles of invention designers in different arenas. Patent Trademark Invention Help

Licensing
License Agreement for your Invention?
The purpose of a license agreement is to grant another individual, company or corporation the right to use your intellectual property for a specific amount of time and for a specific purpose. The specifics are outlined in the terms of the agreement.
A licensor may grant license under "intellectual property" to do something (such as copy software or use a patented invention) without fear of a claim of intellectual property infringement brought by the licensor.
A license under intellectual property usually has several parts including a term, territory, renewal, as well as other limitations deemed vital to the licensor and licensee.
Many license agreements are valid for a particular length of time protecting the licensor should the value of the license increase, or market conditions change.
Product Royalties
Royalties are payments made by one party (the "licensee") to another (the "licensor") for ongoing usage of an asset, usually an intellectual property (IP) right. The royalty for a given case is determined by many factors including: market drivers and demand structure, territorial of rights, exclusivity of rights, inherent risk, strategic need, fundability, deal structure, level ofinnovation, stage ofdevelopment, sustainability of the product, and availability of similar technologies.
Navigating through the royalty terms is important. You commonly have both an advance royalty, which is a flat fee paid upfront, and ongoing royalties, which are paid as a percentage of every sale you make. The advance royalty is basically a guarantee that thelicensor will get some money even if your product does not sell. Then, if and when yourproductsells, the licensor will get a percentage of thesale on average, about 5 percent of the wholesale price of each product sold.
The licensor usually decides what the royalties will be, and those rates are pretty firmly set. So make sure you understand what they are and that they are spelled out in your licensing agreement to avoid any surprises later. In fact, that agreement is crucial in determining not only what the licensor receives, but also what rights you get.
Licensor
A licensor is a term used in the law to describe a person or company who forwards usage rights of their intellectual property of another person or company for the purpose of profit. The owner of the property, called the licensor typically allows the licensee to use their intellectual property under the terms of a licensing agreement. The licensor and licensee typically sign the licensing agreement with the support of a professional attorneys who specialize in licensing agreements.

Overcoming the Obstacles
In addition to setting aside your false beliefs, taking action involves shifting your approach to challenges that develop along the way. As an inventor, you're an entrepreneur who already thinks creatively. That creativity will benefit you throughout the inventing process. We encourage you to tap into those creative thinking abilities as you proceed through the inventing process. When you're confronted with a challenge, don't change your goals but your plan of action. Constantly create new options for yourself during all the steps as an inventor and you will succeed.
Patent - US Patent Office Definition
According to US Patent law, a provisional application is a type of federal application for patent filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This type of patent application does not mature into an actual issued patent unless further steps are taken by the applicant. Provisional Patent Applications contain specifications (description/optional drawings) of the invention, but do not require a formal patent claims, inventors' oaths or declarations, or any information disclosure statement (IDS). Subsequently, because no examination of the patentability of the application in view of the prior art is performed, the USPTO fee for filing a provisional patent application is relatively low than the fee required to file a standard non-provisional patent application. Provisional Patent Applications can establish an early filing date in a continuing patent application later claiming the priority date of an invention disclosed in earlier provisional applications by an inventor.

Patents
The purpose of a patent is to provide protection for technological advances (inventions). It provides an award for the disclosure of the creation of something new as well as for the further development, or refinement, of existing technologies. The aim of a patent system is to encourage economic and technological development by rewarding intellectual creativity.Patent Agent Invention Help
Costs
Costs for patents vary depending on the field of technology your design falls into and the complexity of the design. Average costs to file and obtain a patent start at around $10,000 and can rise dramatically in some cases.The Invention
Advantage
The advantage of obtaining a Patent is the protection it offers. For the period of the patent the patent holder can exclude others from producing, using, and selling the invention claimed in the patent.
How long is the term of a patent?
The term of a patent is typically 20 years from the date on which the application is filed. Although it is no necessarily the same for every country it is now provided by international treaty that the term of a patent has to be at least 20 years from the filing date. Patent Lawyer
Disadvantage of patents
The obvious disadvantage of attempting to acquire a Patent is the cost. Starting at around $10,000, you are immediately at a financial disadvantage before you've spent any money on product development and marketing. Secondly, patent applications are quite often rejected and if not take a minimum of 2 years to be fully processed. In the meanwhile your patent attorney will most likely be incurring fees while your product concept sits on the sideline. Patent Trademark
What is a Patentable Invention?
In general, to be patentable, an invention of must fulfill three criteria: novelty, inventive step (or non-obviousness) and industrial applicability. This means that the invention must be new compared to the state of the art on the filing date of the application, that it should not be obvious to a person skilled in the art, in other words, it must represent a sufficient advance in relation to the sate of art, and that it should be applicable in the context of some commercial production. The question whether a particular invention is patentable or not is a matter of national law. Patents may only issue to man-made inventions. In most patent systems, the mere discovery of materials or substances already existing in nature is not considered to be an invention. A plant discovered existing in nature, for example, would not be regarded as an invention. Many patent systems also require that an invention of have a technical nature, i.e. that it relates to the physical world. In this respect, pure mathematical or physical formula, or pure software algorithms would not be regarded as inventions. Patent Agent
Patent Agent (Patent Agency)
A patent attorney or patent agent (patent agency) is an attorney who has the special qualifications necessary for representing clients in obtaining and acting in all matters and procedures relating to patent law and practice. The term is used differently in other countries, and may or may not require the same legal qualifications as a general legal practitioner. The term patent agent and patent lawyer are also used in some localities. In some localities the terms are interchangeable, in others the latter is generally used only if the person qualified as a lawyer.Patent Lawyer

Product lifecycle management (plm)
PLM is a process whereas the entire lifecycle of a product is managed beginning from conception, carried through the design and manufacture stages to service and eventual disposal. Most companies manage their communications and information with their customers, suppliers and resources within their company via this process. Benefits include reducing product time to market, improved quality control and grouched prototyping costs. Other benefits include savings through the re-using of invented data via the complete integration of engineering workflows. Product lifecycle management is a term applied to a specific set of application software's that enable new product development in business processes. Such processes include product management, portfolio management, product design, manufacturing planning and product data management. The core technology of product lifecycle management is in the central management of data and the technologies utilized to develop and maximize this information. Technologies used for PLM include cad, cam, cae and pdm. Stages include conceive, design, realize and service. Patent Trademark Invention Help

Product Royalties
Royalties are payments made by one party (the "licensee") to another (the "licensor") for ongoing usage of an asset, usually an intellectual property (IP) right. The royalty for a given case is determined by many factors including: market drivers and demand structure, territorial of rights, exclusivity of rights, inherent risk, strategic need, fundability, deal structure, level of innovation, stage of development, sustainability of the product, and availability of similar technologies. Navigating through the royalty terms is important. You commonly have both an advance royalty, which is a flat fee paid upfront, and ongoing royalties, which are paid as a percentage of every sale you make. The advance royalty is basically a guarantee that the licensor will get some money even if your product does not sell. Then, if and when your product sells, the licensor will get a percentage of the sale on average, about 5 percent of the wholesale price of each product sold. The licensor usually decides what the royalties will be, and those rates are pretty firmly set. So make sure you understand what they are and that they are spelled out in your licensing agreement to avoid any surprises later. In fact, that agreement is crucial in determining not only what the licensor receives, but also what rights you get. The InventionInvention Help

Prototype
(As per Wiki) In semantics, prototypes or proto instances combine the most representative attributes of a category. Prototypes are typical instances of a category that serve as benchmarks against which the surrounding, less representative instances are categorized (see Prototype Theory).
In many fields, there is great uncertainty as to whether a new design will actually do what is desired. New designs often have unexpected problems. A prototype is often used as part of the product design process to allow engineers and designers the ability to explore design alternatives, test theories and confirm performance prior to starting production of a new product. Engineers use their experience to tailor the prototype according to the specific unknowns still present in the intended design. For example, some prototypes are used to confirm and verify consumer interest in a proposed design whereas other prototypes will attempt to verify the performance or suitability of a specific design approach.
In general, an iterative series of prototypes will be designed, constructed and tested as the final design emerges and is prepared for production. With rare exceptions, multiple iterations of prototypes are used to progressively refine the design. A common strategy is to design, test, evaluate and then modify the design based on analysis of the prototype.
In many products it is common to assign the prototype iterations Greek letters. For example, a first iteration prototype may be called an "Alpha" prototype. Often this iteration is not expected to perform as intended and some amount of failures or issues are anticipated. Subsequent prototyping iterations (Beta, Gamma, etc.) will be expected to resolve issues and perform closer to the final production intent.
In many product development organizations, prototyping specialists are employed - individuals with specialized skills and training in general fabrication techniques that can help bridge between theoretical designs and the fabrication of prototypes.

Registering Your Invention
A statutory invention registration is not a patent. It has the defensive nature of a patent but does not have the enforceable attributes of a patent. In other words, a person occasionally invents something solely for personal use (not for production or sale) and does not want to go through the effort and expense of obtaining a patent on the invention. Subsequently, an inventor wants to prevent someone else from later obtaining a patent on a like invention. In this situation, the inventor can register a statutory invention and forward to be published. Once it is published, it cannot be claimed by any other person.Patent Agent

Selling a Product Idea
A sale is the activity involved in selling products or services in return for money or other compensation. It is an act of completion of a commercial activity. A sale is completed by the seller, the owner of the goods. It starts with consent (or agreement) to an acquisition or appropriation or request followed by the passing of intellectual property or ownership in the item and the application and due settlement of a fixed price, the obligation for which arises due to the seller required to pass ownership, being a price the seller is happy to part with ownership of or any claim to the item. The purchaser, though a party to the sale, does not execute the sale, only the seller does that. The sale completes prior to the payment and gives rise to the obligation of payment. If the seller completes the first two above stages (selling product) of the sale prior to settlement of the price the sale is still valid and gives rise to an obligation to pay.Patent Agent

So you have a great new product idea
So you bolted awake at 3 a.m. with a can't-miss new product idea. Or it came to you in the shower, on your way to pick up the kids at soccer or out of necessity while trying to solve a problem. No matter what the inspiration, you have a new product idea. And you've got the excitement and energy to do something about it but you're not quite sure where to start.
What does it cost for invention creation?
Manufacturers follow a complicated and costly product development process called product lifecycle management (plm). This approach encompasses the complete lifecycle from the creation of your concept design through manufacturing and disposal of a product. The typical cost to get a product creation starts at around $100,000 for simple concept designs and rises dramatically for more complicated concepts.
What are they promising you?
Organizations such as invention submission companies offer costly services promising to develop your concept for $5-$20,000 (a fraction of what it really costs) while delivering very little in return and producing very poor success rates.
The Reality
Paying high prices to outside companies to "develop" or "patent" your product is often unnecessary if you just want to license your concept. Ultimately the distributor incurs the real costs of development and in return offers a licensing contract. Your job is to present an appealing invented product presentation and deliver it to the right people!
So what should your very first action be?
Getting a patent, perhaps?
Going on a fact-finding mission to manufacturers in China?
Calling QVC?
While all these steps may be appropriate down the line, it's critically important that you first take action by shifting your thought process. I know what you're thinking. Thinking doesn't seem very actionable, does it? Maybe not, but over the years, countless inventors make devastating mistakes based on false beliefs and inaccurate assumptions.
For this reason debunking some common myths associated with inventing is important. Myths and misperceptions can be debilitating to your progress and costly to your pocket book. Although it may not seem very "actionable," it's vital to begin the inventing process with a realistic understanding of some of the basics for bringing an idea to market.The InventionPatent Trademark

We've just made it easier by providing the platform and the contacts to make it happen quickly and effortlessly. You just choose your 3 companies, we pre qualify the type of invented design to make sure it fits the category of product they are looking for and we send you product presentation directly to the product submission specialists of the company you chose to make a decision. Provisional Patent
Submitting Inventions to Industry
Invention Submission Companies attempt to submit ideas to companies in the hope of obtaining a good faith review. They typically offer to patent, prototype & package your invention professionally and prepare submission documents which to submit to industry for review. Companies covering The Invention, invention development and submission range in size from small to large corporations the majority of which are large size companies that require significant amounts of money for full product development. Patent Trademark
The following are among the most common myths:
Myth #1: The first thing an inventor should do is get a patent.
Truth: It's understandable why this is such a commonly held belief. The topic of getting a patent is so pervasive among the inventing literature, conferences, websites and tv commercials, it's no wonder that many people feel they can't move forward without getting a patent and trademark first. Many inventors spend 80 -100% of their initial effort and money on obtaining a patent because that is the myth that's been sold and supported by those who stand to profit from it. Certainly a patent can be a valuable tool later in the process, but you should first determine the viability of The Invention, ie. an invention of as a business should be researched before moving forward. Remember that filing a patent has little impact on a successful product launch & cost $10,000 or more-so unless getting a patent for its own sake is your end goal, it doesn't usually make good business sense to apply for a patent first thing off the bat. Most importantly- if you file a patent first, then encounter overwhelming obstacles later on, you may have invested in a patent for nothing. Patent Agent Provisional Patent
Myth #2: If I tell people my idea, they'll steal it.
Truth: The theft of a new invention idea is actually very rare. A lot of sweat equity goes into developing an invention and this is a big barrier to most potential "thieves." That doesn't mean ideas are never stolen. Keep in mind, copying and competition are facts in any business. However, once you have an understanding of how much work goes into taking an idea to market, you'll understand why most ideas are stolen only after a product's proven successful. It's like betting on a horse. You're more likely to win by betting on a horse with a winning record than you are by backing an unproven long shot. That being said, don't be careless. Patent Lawyer Invention Help
Myth #3: My idea is worth a million dollars!
Truth: Earning a million dollars with an invention is less likely than making slightly lesser amount depending on the depth of your invention. Study the process, set realistic expectations, take action, work hard and you can find success, especially if you have more than one marketable idea.

Selling Outright
The selling your intellectual property patent means that you have permanently transferred ownership of your property to another person or company for an agreed upon fee. All future commercial opportunities including royalties will no longer be yours.
License Your Invention
Licensing means that you will continue to own your own invention, however, you rent out the rights to make, use, or sell your invention. You can give an exclusive license to one party, or a non-exclusive license to more than one party. You can set a time limit on the license or not. In exchange for the rights to your intellectual property, you can charge a flat fee, or collect a royalty for each unit sold, or a combination of the two. It should be noted that royalties are a much smaller percentage than most inventors would guess they should be, often under three percent invented for first-time inventors. That fact should not be surprising, the licensing party is taking a financial risk and it is quite an undertaking to manufacture, market, advertise, and distribute any product. More about licensing in our next lesson. A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor. Patent Law
Do it Yourself
To manufacture, market, advertise, and distribute your own intellectual property is a large enterprise. Ask yourself, "do you have the spirit necessary to become an entrepreneur?" In a later lesson we will discuss business and business plans and provide resources for conducting your own. For those of you who do wish to become your own entrepreneur and start and raise capitol for a serious business, this may be your next stop: Entrepreneur Tutorials. Independent inventors may decide hire help for marketing or other aspects of promoting their invention. Before making any commitments to promoters and promotion firms, you should check on their reputation before making any commitments. Remember, not all firms are legitimate. It is best to be wary of any firm that promises too much and/or costs too much. Patent Trademark

Ten Top Ways to Fail as an Inventor
Fail to Record Your Inventing Progress
1. Detailed records of the concepts, test results, and other information related to making an invention should be kept in a logbook. You can start a logbook from the very first moment you think of an idea. Proper record keeping can be used as proof of the conception date of an invention. The best way to prove that an idea is yours is by maintaining an inventor's journal or logbook. Your logbook should be a bound binder with pages numbered consecutively. Patent Application
2. Fail to Actually Make Your Invention
You can't sell ideas - you can only sell inventions. Build a prototype or working model of your invention and test it out. Patent Law
3. Believing Promotion Company Hype
Can you give your great invention of to somebody and expect them to build, test, patent, manufacture, sell it and then send you a big fat check for a million dollars. If you need help at any stage of the invention process experts suggest that you hire professionals on a piecemeal basis. There can be conflicts of interest involved in hiring one company. How can a you receive a fair opinion about your invention, if a negative review might deter you from buying more of their services.Invention Help
4. Getting Too Attached to Your Invention
It's good to believe in yourself and have determination, however, keep your grip on reality. Before selling your house to heavily invest inthe invention do what is called an invention marketability assessment to help you estimate your product's chances of success. Know when it's time to move on to your next great idea. A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor.
5. Revealing Your Invention to Soon
As soon as you reveal your invention to the public or anybody that has not signed a confidentiality agreement with you a one year countdown begins. Now you only have one year to patent your invention if you want to do so.
6. Already Been Invented
You don't want to end up infringing on somebody else's invented intellectual property rights. Conduct what is called asearch for prior art. That means checking to see if anybody else has already patentedthe invention similar or identical to yours. Patent Law
7. To Patent or Not To Patent
There are arguments from both sides on this point. However, some experts suggest not spending the time or money on a patent, instead they suggest taking your invention straight to the marketplace. Only a tiny percentage of patents make money. If your invention is a very simple item you might want to consider that approach. Did you know that one very successful invention that was never patented was Rubik's Cube? Patent Trademark Patent Idea
8. Patenting Badly
A patent application is a legal document and you cannot expect to "spend one evening filling it out," the better written the patent, the better the protection your patent will produce. Think of it as a contract forthe invention, where every single word has impact. Hire an intellectual property lawyer that has a background in the technology that is part ofthe invention. Patent Application
9. Acting Unprofessional
Yes you might be a eccentric inventor, however, that is no excuse to act unprofessional whenever you are conducting business related to your invention. Write your letters and emails professionally. Dress appropriately during business meetings. Anticipate the questions you may be asked about your invention and prepare your presentations. A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor.Invention Help
10. Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket
When you are trying to sell or license your invention, you should select at least twenty to thirty different potential buyers.

Tips and Instructions on Drawings and Illustrations
Your patent application will most likely require drawings. Not "art class" drawings, but specific types of drawings (maybe photographs) that are made in a certain way, with the different parts of your invention numbered, and with different views. When you apply for a trademark, even with a wordtrademark there is a certain kind of illustration that you must submit. Patent Application

Understanding Patents and Patenting
Some people may confuse patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Although there may be some similarities, they are different and serve different purposes. Read What Do I Need? or Understanding Intellectual Property if you need to understand the differences better. Patents and trademarks are both issued by the USPTO. Patent Law Invention Help
What Is A Patent?
It is just like a property right for the inventor. All U.S. patents are issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or USPTO. Most patents last for twenty years. The twenty years begins on the date the application for a non-provisional or provisional patent was first filed. A patent gives you the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling your invention in the United States or importing the invention into the United States. Once a patent is issued, it becomes your responsibility to enforce the patent, the USPTO will not enforce your rights invented for you. From the USPTO you are only granted rights that are honored within the United States, U.S. territories, and U.S. possessions. Patent Lawyer
The Three Different Types of Patents Issued By The USPTO
1. Utility patents may be granted to anyone who invents a useful process, a machine, an article of manufacture, or a composition of matter. Examples: fiber optics, computer hardware, or medications. Utility patent can be provisional or non-provisional.2. Design patents may be granted to anyone who invents a new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture. Examples: the look of an athletic shoe, a bicycle helmet, and the Star Wars characters.3. Plant patents may be granted to anyone who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces any distinct and new variety of plants. Examples: Hybrid tea roses, Silver Queen corn, Better Boy tomatoes In general, a utility patent protects the way an article is used and works, while a design patent protects the way an article looks. Both design and utility patents may be obtained on for the article if it is inventive in both its utility and its ornamental appearance. Utility applications can be provisional or nonprovisional. A provisional application is a very simple patent application which includes only a description of the invention. A nonprovisional application is the full patent application that includes oaths, drawings, and claims. A patent idea is only as good as it's inventor. You still have to file a nonprovisional application within one year of filing your provisional application. Patent Agent Invention Help
Patent Laws - Functions Of The USPTO
Patent law specifies the rules for patents. The USPTO administers all patent laws relating to the granting of patents and various other provisions relating to patents. They will examine your applications and grant patents when applicants are entitled to them. They publish and distribute all patent information including: recording assignments of patents, maintaining search files of U.S. and foreign patents, maintaining a search room for public use in examining issued patents and records, and supplying copies of patents and official records to the public.

3d developing
3d developing (also known as 3d designing or graphic art) is a profession within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who creates images, typography or motion graphics to create a piece of art or design. 3d developing creates 3d graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures and advertising. They are also sometimes responsible for typesetting, illustration and web design, or take a teaching position, although these specialties may be assigned to specialists in various graphic design occupations. A core responsibility of the 3d developer is to present information in a way that is both accessible and aesthetic.
3d graphics
As per wiki: 3D computer graphics software refers to programs used to create 3D computer-generated imagery. 3D modelers have use in many industries. The medical industry uses it to make detailed models of organs & movie industry uses it to make and manipulate characters and objects for animated and real-life motion pictures. The video game industry uses them to create assets for video games. The science sector uses them to create highly detailed models of chemical compounds. The architecture industry uses them to create models of proposed buildings and landscapes. The engineering community uses them to design new devices, vehicles and structures as well as a host of other uses. There are typically many stages in the "pipeline" that studios and manufacturers use to create 3D objects for film, games, and production of hard goods and structures. Many 3D modelers are general-purpose and can be used to produce models of various real-world entities, from plants to automobiles to people. Some are specially designed to model certain objects, such as chemical compounds or internal organs. (The Invention)3D modelers allow users to create and alter models via their 3D mesh. Users can add, subtract, stretch and otherwise change the mesh to their desire. Models can be viewed from a variety of angles, usually simultaneously. Models can be rotated and the view can be zoomed in and out. 3D modelers can export their models to files, which can then be imported into other applications as long as the metadata is compatible. Many modelers allow importers and exporters to be plugged-in, so they can read and write data in the native formats of other applications. A patent idea invented is only as good as it's inventor. Most 3D modelers contain a number of related features, such as ray tracers and other rendering alternatives and texture mapping facilities. Some also contain features that support or allow animation of models. Some may be able to generate full-motion video of a series of rendered scenes (i.e. animation). Patent Agent
